While in
Paris, Baba took the women sightseeing, taking a boat ride down the Seine, visiting theArt and Technical
Exhibitionwhich was being held at the time, and also theCathedral of Notre Dame. But wherever they went, there were always so many men about that the
Eastern women had to pass by these places with their heads bowed and did not view any of the sights of interest. "It was more like sidewalk seeing than sight-seeing," as one woman put
it.
